Il Seicento è il secolo che segna il definitivo ingresso dell’Europa nella modernità grazie ai progressi della scienza, al metodo sperimentale di Galileo, alla fine dell’adesione acritica ai modelli aristotelici.
Le strutture: lo sviluppo demografico e l’effetto frenante di guerre, epidemie e carestie; la rifeudalizzazione; industrie e mercantilismo. La società: nobiltà, borghesia e realtà rurale. Il mondo delle idee: tolleranza e intolleranza, rinnovamento spirituale e caccia alle streghe, diffusione della cultura.
Un secolo segnato dal terribile conflitto della guerra dei Trent’anni, da una pesante stagnazione economica e dalla deflazione; ma anche un’epoca che fu un laboratorio politico e che vide il confronto tra due modelli: l’assolutismo francese e il liberalismo inglese. Da questo fondamentale momento di sperimentazione sarebbe nata l’Europa moderna. ( )
